Poor Management/Benefits aren't worth it

Pros

Retirement/Benefits/Nothing else comes to mind.

Cons

Management is very poor with the institution. Beware that as a new employee you will be targeted (at least in the department I'm in) and if you haven't made it past your 6 month probationary period, there's nothing you can do. There is not work/life balance. You have to wait 12 months to transfer to a new department. Management does not care about you as a person, they care about themselves.

Pros

Being part of a team is great. Health benefits good. Patients are our # 1 priority. Interaction with patients is wonderful. Love the job, love the people ! Lots of room for improvement though !

Cons

I have been working for MDACC for 8 years ! No career pathway. Pay is poor for the amount of responsibility and workload. Can be very stressful when dealing with bad management decisions. Demerit point system if tardy or call in. No sick leave, comes out of your vacation time. Pay for own parking. For the #1 Cancer Institute in the country, treatment of staff is poor. Morale is very low at the moment and staff resignations are on the increase.

Pros

Any pro is a myth.

Cons

I joined MDA with 30% pay cut thinking that it is a professionally managed company and a world leader. I worked in IS division for more than (3) years and regret to say that it is managed unprofessionally and so much of group-ism. God bless this institution!
